Critics Review
(T)his is an important and groundbreaking book for several reasons. Rogers’ overarching argument (…) is integral for a broader conceptualization of what digital social research should attempt to achieve.

The realization I was left with after reading the book, above all, was that of the sheer scope and size of what lies before digital social researchers who are interested in how users and digital objects mutually constitute each other, the politics of software and the historiography of the web.
